Ask HN: Help a fellow dev marry his perfect woman
I've been with, for me, the most incredible woman for five years now. She has been learning iOS dev from me (she wasn't super interested but wanted to help and learn more about my work), spends her lunch break answering support emails for the startup/SaaS product I'm running, doesn't ask for much or complain that I plough all my left over cash into my business and generally supports me in everything I do.
We've discussed getting married, it's something we both want to do and she knows I'm going to ask her. Doesn't want a fancy wedding and fully expects a cheap ring and not much of a big thing. With everything she's done for me, and because she knows it's coming, I would love to at least surprise her in some way and make it special for her.
I'm looking to take on any extra work over the next month or so to get some extra cash (around $3000 but any jobs will add to the fund) together for a nicer ring and to take her somewhere as a surprise. So, if you'd like to help making a memory for a perfect hackers girlfriend I'd love to take on any extra work you need doing.
Recently I have been doing work involving: - Objective C (mainly iOS but have done some OS X dev recently too) - Prototyping any mobile app ideas - Setting up A/B testing frameworks (PHP) - Writing lifecycle emails with Customer.io - Basic front-end dev work
I also have some experience with flask/python, javascript, highcharts, etc.
I'll happily provide examples of work etc over email (you can reach me on proposingprogrammer@gmail.com), if there's anything you need doing let me know.
